Graham,

Congratulations on having one aspect of your lifestyle recognised in this way. It is well deserved.

I too have been offered discounts (and on two occasions, a free kilt) in return for giving honest criticism of a kiltmaker's design or craft. I am currently 'test driving' a kilt, have already made suggestions and have been promised that another kilt will be made up for me incorporating my suggestions! I see nothing wrong in that at all, and I am humbled that kiltmakers who come up with new ideas, seek my opinions.

Do not feel guilty, either, at buying from a kiltmaker other than your favourite one. By so doing, you are hardly transferring your loyalty after all, and I am sure you will return to Rocky for a subsequent purchase. Personally, I shall always be loyal to my two or three favourite kiltmakers (they produce different types of kilts anyway), but that does not stop me adding to my Kilt Kollection by occasionally going elsewhere.
